A hanging business
A street protest is not only rallies, marches and pickets. City space - the walls of houses, bridges, overpasses - becomes a battlefield, climbing hooks and ropes - an instrument of the opposition. The “foundry of the“ war ”group” remains an unsurpassed example, but other actions in the center of Moscow and St. Petersburg occupied a worthy place in the annals of resistance. The language of this agitation is well suspended and rough. We offer an overview of the most daring "high -rise" shares.
Promotion of the National Bolsheviks "Climbings"
May 4, 2005, Moscow
The first "high -rise" action in the latest history of Russia. Activists of the National-Bolshevik party Olga Kudrina and Evgeny Logovsky, using climbing equipment, fixed the hotel windows at the level of the eleventh floor from the Kremlin and hung a Putin banner, leave himself. Law enforcement officers promptly cut off the Tin, leave yourself and the half of the letter “U”. The National Bolsheviks sang for about two and a half hours, they were removed by rescuers. Kudrina and Logovsky scattered leaflets with demands that largely coincide with the resolution of the December rallies of 2011.
